Problem solving is similar to critical thinking, but is more about your ability to directly come up with solutions to problems you are presented with.
In some industries, such as hospitality or tourism, it’s important for you to be able to come up with solutions at a moment’s notice as unexpected events can happen suddenly.
Problem solving examples:
- Being able to resolve a customer’s problem in a timely manner.
- Coming up with a new way to effectively manage a company’s budget.
